MARY MORTON • 0 Salads are good for us, we all know. With our sugar ration low and a doubt in our minds concerning the availabil- ity of other sweetening agents, we will more and more serve fresh fruit sal- ads and fruit cups for desserts'. Very little sweetening of any kind is needed in fruit salad dressings, and we can learn to take our fruit cups straight.

MUGGS -AND SKEETER $1 WINGHAYI ADVANCE-TITS ThUrsday, June 2$tb., 194Z ',Chen one day a swarm of bees set- tled in an old plum tree at the end of the orchard, Remembering an old hive that grandfather used to have and which was stored up over the granary I decided to try my hand at the keep- ing of bees. As I got the old bee veil out of the storeroom over the kitchen and the old smoker whialt grandfather used , to use, there were all kinds of rosy visions appearing to me of how nice it wotald be to have a plentiful supply of honey. By the time I had mustered tip the necessary equipment I had imagined an enormous store of honey . . . enough to take the place of all the sugar we would require for years to come. Fate lured me on. It was easy to get the bees into the hive. I was covered with equipment fronthead to foot and simply brushed the bees into the hive. They were very quiet and docile. In fact it was too easy to be true, At supper-time Mrs, Phil grew quite bored with my tall tales of the way the war effort was being aided by the swarm of bees which had been captured. I made my first mistake about two Put clays later. Somebody told me that the first thing the bees would do would be to start building up the combs. On the way to the stable after dinner I wandered over to the hive. The bees were quite busy, zip- ping and zooming out to the nearby clover field and then back into the hive. I figured they must have at least ten pounds of honey gathered by that time. . I edged the hive cover up about an inch . . . and then some more and finally cleared the frames. Then the bees rewarded me with stinging for their home. They seemed to come from all directions and the first thing I knew they were swarming around my head. Russian dive-bombers couldn't have made a German soldier feel worse .. , or more uncomfortable I should say. Have you ever been pursued by thousands of bees. I tore around ,the barn-yard swatting at the buzzing lit- 1, AUA IllirepoMore losoosist Planning For "Army Week" , Hello Homemakers! Today we're making plans to honour our Canadian ,Army during Army Week, June 29th to July 5th has been set aside for us to learn all about the work and activities of our Army and something special has been arranged for us each day. Every homemaker can co-operate in paying tribute to the Army during this -period. We suggest that homemakers "say it with flowers" by decorating the hosise with garden flowers-and out- side the Flag can be unfurled and `wave on high to show your spirits will never die. Do plan your household duties so that you will be free to en- tertain and can visit nearby camps with the family, see the parades and share in the entertainment of Army Week. On Monday, June 29th, Soldier Day may be honoured by inviting men or women in khaki to your home to enjoy a real, hot, homecooked meal - or sending an extra special parcel Over- seas. And according to the order of the •day, Tuesday we will serve army rations. Try to reserve the whole week to be consistent with the training of the Army. This is the ,time for us all to get behind the Army - to show everyone that we are support- ing it and proud of it. * * * * SPECIAL SOLDIER'S DINNER Chilled Fruit Juice Roast Chicken Giblet Gravy Sage Dressing New Potatoes Spinach Radishes Cucumber Slices Maple Leaf Salad Bowl Cafe au Lait * * * * SUGGESTIONS FOR OVERSEAS BOX Molasses Pound Cake Honey Nut Squares Crown Oatmeal Cookies Molasses Pound Cake 2% cup butter; 1 tsp. cinnamon; 3/4 cup sugar; 1/2 tsp, allspice; 2 eggs, bea- ten; 14.. tsp. clove; 24 cup milk; % tsp. mace; 36 cup molasses; 1/2 cup seeded raisins; 21 cups flour; % cup citron, thinly sliced; 3/4 tsp. soda.

When manure is not available, sul- phate of ammonia, nitrate of soda or a -well-balanced complete fertilizer can be substituted. Dissolve one ounce in two to four gallons of water. Do not use often than once every two' weeks, and be careful to keep the solution off the foliage, Never use any liquid fertilizer when the soil is dry; wait until after a rain or soak the soil well with water be- fore applying, If applied when the ground is dry, it is absorbed by the plants so quickly that there is danger of the roots being burned.

A TOUCH OF HUMOUR il•i01.11,1•11.0 Manager-What? You come into my famous restaurant, drink a glass of water and then walk calmly out? MacGregor-Hoot, mon! Did you expect me to stagger cot? PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle "BEES" The man who coined that phrase about people having bees in their bon- nets should come around and see me sometime; It all started in a rather peculiar way. Mrs. Phil had been worrying about the sugar ration. During the first hectic days of the rationing she' had taken the sugar bowl from the table and we were forced to go to the zup- board and get sugar whenever we wanted it., That of course meant that sugar consumption went down to a new low at Lazy Meadows, Wife Preservers slouseikives are being patriotic Ameri- cans, no matter where they were born, if they co-operate with their government in the buying and use of rationed goods. Don't let the boys at the front and in camps make all the sacrifices. DR. W. M. CONNELL PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Phone 19 W. A.
